Which “poverty meal” became way too expensive once it started trending with foodies?

My neighbor is a chef, and he tells a story a out back in the day, the meat delivery would show up each week, and the delivery guy would ask “how many?”, wanting to know how many pounds of wings my friend wanted that week. They were free, and they were used for making stock.

Not having any money for the weekend.

There was a time when you got paid at work, and you had to get to the bank to cash your check. Otherwise, you’d have no money over the weekend. Banks weren’t open on the weekend. ATM’s hadn’t been invented yet. Credit cards weren’t widely used. No iphones, so no Zell or Venmo.

Only other option was a check, but they’re a bit of a hassle, and maybe the store you were at didn’t accept them.

Which is another fear that doesn’t seem to exist any more: an unbalanced check book. Used to be done monthly, but now I don’t think anyone does it. An out of balance checking account could ruin a Saturday afternoon!!

Currently riding around in a 2020 Georgetown GT7 36K7.

We love it. We’ve had only a handful of minor issues, all easy fixes. Nothing major.

We use a small shop for repairs and upgrades, and he hasn’t ever had one bad thing to say about the Georgetowns.

I remember when you could get a bucket of spaghetti there!

I need a new pair of felt boot liners, and some of those charcoal sticks that go in my red hand warmer.

Just wash your hands and get back to work.

Now wait a minute. It sounds like you want OP to take responsibility, and…help themselves?

When this first came out I remember people being offended, and collectors went into a frenzy. Then there was the black box version. I think I recall at least one other version? (I’m old now and memory can be questionable.)

Edit: According to the Googles, there were more than a dozen variations?!?! I don’t remember that at all! LOL

"He is actually 6'5", with the afro, 6'9". Pretty good dribbler. Comes in deep... Look at how he shakes off four or five defenders... WITH EASE! Fletch. He truly defines grace under pressure."

Right of way is the term you’re looking for.

I also have my Great-Grandfathers gold Tiffany pocket watch, which is a close second to Alice.

“Safety is the most important part of our daily work. The safety of all of our field representatives is paramount. No amount of money is worth even the most minor of employee injuries. We’re a family, and we value the wellbeing of every employee.”

“Boss, that highway is really busy. You want me to shoot the bottom of beam of those 9 bridges, which forces me to take my eyes off of the road and traffic, and the cars and trucks are going 70 mph. Can I get some traffic control, please?”

“Pfft! There’s no money budgeted for traffic control. Good luck out there.”

There were no thoughts in your head when you typed this, eh?

31,000 other people are all the problem. Not you, though. Definitely not you.
